Agreed. A huge part of that, I think, is that there are NPCs going around *doing things* rather than just standing around waiting for you to trigger their responses. Seems to me Blizzard learned from the DK starting areas that a bustling set of NPCs gives a place life. I call that a good change.

I love plants vs zombies, but how more immersion killing can you get when you feature a mascot from a totally different style of game in what used to be a fantasy MMO? It would be like playing LOTRO and one of the new mounts be a Tetris piece.
